Having her be the most stylish one makes sence as she is the daughter of a seamstress; though seamstress are not designers, it seems like her mother also fulfills that role to a lighter extent. She most likely learned from her.
Yeah! My mother’s granny was a seamstress too, she was always on her fashion magazines and fashion catalogues, she would learn of what was the “thing” because of those kind of things :0!
Every seamstress is a designer in some right. Even if we're just altering premade patterns we get into sewing because we want to improve upon ready-to-wear & flex our creativity.
She's honestly adorable and just naive. She's kind and even though she's indeed spoiled , she doesn't think highly of herself. She treats tiana like a equal. And for that racist time period , she was basically a good human overall
Right? I absolutely fell in love with her when she let the Prince go. It was so unexpected because she was bratty throughout the film. What she did established her as a person with a good heart.
I once heard a theory that said that the blue dress Tiana uses at the dance was actually meant for her. Throughout the movie we see that Lottie basically wear exclusively pink, so it would make no sense for her to have a blue dress out of nowhere. Therefore, people (including myself) belive that the blue dress was a gift Lottie was going to give to Tiana anyways😅
It was for sure for Tiana, the contrast in style to what Charlotte usually dons makes it almost clear. It also shows a considerate side of her, and how even as a spoiled rich kid she takes the time to think about people she cares about.
YESSS! Also think about it this way: If you look hard enough it looks like Charlotte has a smaller shoulder/chest width (im sorry-) than Tiana. I have a knack for small details because I like to draw Disney characters and this is what I noticed. Now, nothing is stopping Charlotte from buying a blue dress. Yes, it's very unlikely, but it's entirely possible that she could've bought a blue dress because she liked it. However, if you consider what I pointed out, and how Tiana looked in it (it looked like it fit her like a glove), why would Charlotte buy a dress that doesn't fit her properly?
So I actually have a theory that because Tiana's mom was the main seamstress of the family, she made the dress for her and had Charlotte hold onto it for when the time was right
I think the reason why Tiana has longer hair in almost every scene from the movie is because they wanted to emphasize the fact that she cares more about her job than being trendy and looking fancy, that's why in her fantasy where she's already successful she looks glamourous with short hair and expensive clothes since she doesn't have to worry about money anymore
You know, Tiana always felt the most real to me. Like, someone who could really exist and talk to me. She had a job, an actual personality, and she and Navean had ACTUAL romantic chemistry rather than the whole “it was love at first sight! They got married a minute after meeting.” She was sassy and stubborn and had actual character flaws, witch mad her all the more interesting, and her arc throughout the movie all the more satisfying. I love that movie so much.. and the music is glorious
Same but thats also why i loved Rapunzel ! But tiana is honestly one of my favorite princesses and princess and the frog is my favorite Disney princess movie other then like others
He also had a personality, unlike Prince Eric from the Little Mermaid. Like his whole thing was: "I gotta find this girl... she sung to me... I'm a sailor. I love you Ariel." Tell me I'm wrong Also, doesn't Tiana and Naveen's relationship remind you of Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet from Pride and Prejudice? Elizabeth humbled that mofo Mr. Darcy, just like Tiana did to Naveen
I was so in love with Naveen as a kid 🥺 and he is one of the few princes who really made an important part of the story and were not only there to defeat the villain and rescue the princess
@@julianomuertas2023 He didn't save anything lol, She saves Naveen PERIODT... This movie perpetuates important life values of self-reliance and general benevolence, that all the other movies fail to do, even though it's a fairytale, it's not a fairy tale there is a real process that leads to the happy ending. It shows girls, especially black girls, that they can take charge and their dreams are achievable despite the obstacles. IT SHOWS TRUE DEVELOPMENT OF HEALTHY LOVE. In the beginning, they didn't even like each other... not like the other movies where they just meet some guy that helps them and then they marry him.
She spent most of the movie naked, and still had more outfits than most princesses somehow Ariel was close though. She wears like 4 or 5 dresses in her movie as well as spending the first bit wearing nothing but seashells.
Actually Ariel has 7 :0 (seashell,sail dress,pink gown,nightgown,village/blue one(personal favorite),the silver dress whem she turned human again and the wedding dress :D
I never seen little mermaid, but yeah ^u^ Anna I think had the most dresses but Tiana in my opinion was more fashionable. It's hard to compare the two, though. That's tough. Giselle had a lot of dresses in her movie too but I don't think she had near as many as the others. I haven't seen every princess movie. I just know that they spent more work on making Princess and the frog more historically accurate because it was more of a recent movie and they had access to photos and stuff and there's still people alive form then, too. For Tangled or Brave, it's hard to find photos from way back in the 1800's so they couldn't be as accurate on those. Frozen was modern so scratch that. Enchanted was more of a fantasy themed which was partly modern so scratch that as well. Old ones like Snow white and Cinderella were just dumb all they wanted to do was glamorize those movies back then. The only historically accurate classic besides Princess and the frog is probably Aristocats
@Brad Miller IKR that's why I don't approve of the Disney's Little Mermaid. It's too glamorized. Why would they make a 15-16 year old have seashells for a bra?
@Brad Miller Little Mermaid=Most overrated Disney movie ever. Should have warning labels also I'm not someone who complains a lot about this kind of stuff but come on!
I love that Naveen and her are an interracial couple too. He's South Asian while she's African American. While I do know that Naveen comes from a made up place, his mom wore a saree in one of the scenes(traditional south Asian wear). Only other interracial Disney couple I can think of is Pocahontas and the colonizer. Would've loved if Pocahontas had a Native American prince.
The story was based of the real Pocahontas. A native prince never once existed in her life, and it would be a dumb write in. The real Pocahontas marrying a European man was true.
@@Snow-xd4rv Please. The *only* things from that movie that are accurate are her name, the existence of John Smith, and the fact that the Jamestown explorers were a bunch of pricks. She didn't even marry John Smith--she was forced to marry John Rolfe who was a completely different guy and she died of tuberculosis or pneumonia at 20 years old after having his kid.
@@eliserich1063 throughout the movie they make it look like Tiana's dream to work hard every day of her life isn't what she needs. They just keep repeating that what she really needs is a man, heck she even abandons her dream at some point. Even worse when you know she ends up having both her restaurant and a man
it fits- also in general, even if you changed the dress a bit and made it pink, it still doesn’t look like something Charlotte would wear. Maybe because she wore pink poofy dresses most of the movie. idk.
@@laila.jw08 no princess and the frog was 2d. 3d would be a movie like frozen I think your thinking of it being digital which all the diseny movies are.
Omg it was detailed as well and was the best nostalgic artstyle ever and honestly Id rather watch princess and the frog and cinderella than frozen and ripoffs
Tangled is beautiful and ain’t no one taking that away from me. The lighting especially shines with the lanterns, showing off a strength 2D animation doesn’t have (fantastic and dynamic lighting). 3D is cool. I do still wish we had more 2D animations. Check out Klaus for a 2D animation made recently that combines 3D lighting and 2D drawings in an innovative way.
tiana is honestly the best role model from the disney princess 1) she actually works hard 2) she wasn’t a princess in the beginnings 3) she wasn’t rich growing up which a lot of kids can relate to 4) she actually has a job 5) she is in fact the most stylish princess
I hate being dramatic but I seriously almost cry when people talk about Tiana she was so important to me growing up as a black girl and she’s so extremely underrated so thank you for talking about her with so much love and care 💕
Honestly though, her hair is so beautiful and curly, she got such a big beautiful eyes and her eyebrows are goals!!Girl did not have to snatch my wig she could just have asked for it🥺😞💕
"If anyone plans to get married in 2020 this would not be a bad dress to wear" That's insulting to the dress. The dress doesn't deserve the atrocity that is 2020
I've always been so upset that Ms. Tiana never got to be human for a full feature film... This just makes me more upset because can you IMAGINE the looks she would serve????
I honestly do love the movie still. It's an unfortunate, but her frog design was really cute and had a lot of personality to it (I will always love that they made her left-handed and even incorporated it into the scene where she minces the mushroom as a frog!) and I love how she befriended Louis and Ray and I'm not sure how it could have been done without her being a frog because the plot kind of relies on that happening.
Ok I just thought of this while falling asleep! -Tiana was gifted the blue dress from her friend. -Cinderella was gifted her then white/silver now blue dress by the fairy. Tiana and Cinderella are both hard working, hence the design was an homage to the other hard working princess! Not sure if this was the intention but my mind is blown!
Kash Dior I didn’t say they were, Siri says the definition of homage is special honor or respect shown publicly. Also it’s just my personal theory. 🤷🏻♀️
@@fondantswirl2019 it makes me uncomfortable that you compare a princess that we waiting so long for to just another generic blonde haired blue eyed princess. Dude calm down I'm joking don't take it to the heart 🔼🙂🔫
Growing up Tiana was always my favorite Disney princess. Not only was she one of the best character wise but she also had the best wardrobe. Even so the writers made sure that they handled her character arc with care considering this was the first black princess they ever gave us. They also rounded out the world of 1920s New Orleans. They completely used it to their advantage which a lot of other princess movies fail to do. We got to see the inner city, the jazz scene, black culinary arts which really came into play during this time, the swampy bayou area which was in many black folk songs during the time, and the "mysterious" afrian voodoo part of it that got blown out of proportion during this time and caused many riots blaming black people for their "devilish" ways. For once in a while the villain was genuinely scary and this film is filled with sooo many bops. Navien also had great character development as well which is pretty rare in these movies. All in all, dare I say this may be the best disney princess film they've made.
Man, Friends on the Other Side was one of the best villain songs ever. The visuals, the era appropriate style, the catchiness, the everything, just awesome.
I'm with you on the 2D animation. It's timeless and can be rewatched whereas 3D always improves making the old 3D movies hard to watch as you notice the flaws and lower quality as opposed to whatever the new movies at the moment are
That's an interesting take on it. I personally agree with the sentiment that 2D animation shouldn't go away just because 3D styles are becoming more prevalent- the two are not comparable in terms of technological advancement. Movies like Spiderverse and Klaus, more popular examples, showcase how 2D and 3D techniques can be used hand-in-hand to improve the visuals harmoniously, and not in competition with one another.
Now this is either going to sound stupid or sad to y’all: my family celebrated when Tiana came out. Never had I ever seen someone represent me in the Disney world and definitely not someone who was an independent hard-working woman💕💖
It's not stupid or sad. Yeah she was a frog for 80% of the movie but it's still worth celebrating that Disney finally included a black princess. It was so long overdue.
Lottie is hands down one of the funniest characters Disney has ever created. She's sweet, driven, chaotic, and loyal. She should've gotten a spin-off. Great video, as always!
@@yo5604 those were made by Disneytoons studios. if they were made by walt disney animation like Rescuers Down Under or Frozen 2 it could be better than the straight to dvd sequels.
At Disney World one of the resorts is themed after New Orleans so they do a lot of Tiana stuff there. And yeah Splash Mountain is going to be Princess and the Frog themed. I can’t wait to ride the ride while singing “going down the bayou”!
7:45 Maybe the reason Tiana never had the bobbed hair is because she was too busy to stay “on trend” What with working all the time. Lottie and Tiana’s friends all have shorter hair, because they are carefree and have time to style their hair. Kind of a stretch but I makes sense to me.
That's actually a really sensible observation. Her friends can take time to party and have outings with one another- they are very social, and as such more likely to be trendy and follow popular styles and fashions of the time. Tiana contrasts this with her plain, often disheveled looks, and conversely her traditional/low-effort outfits including not going through the trouble, time, or money of keeping up with mainstream hairstyles. Very cool
As a little black girl back in 2009 the movie made me so proud. When I was in 3 rd grade. I noticed that I looked different from everyone else(I think this is when I started to notice race and color) just being able to have a cartoon character that looks like me being successful made me want to do the same. Ever since she has been a role model for me, and I loved seeing her at disneyland. She taught me you don't need a man in your life, work hard, or else your not going any where in life. Keep going and work towards your dreams. Be humble, and countless others. She so underrated.
Nah I completely agree that the 2d animation is better than the 3D. I mean it’s nice and I do love certain 3D animated shows and movies but nothin beats 2d edit: we got some people of class and thank you soooo much for all the likes
Growing up, I honestly thought her dress in the movie was a light blue, or almost gray! WHY DID THEY TURN IT BLUE?! (honestly the dress looked good in the updated version with the butterflies NGL)
I personally do love the silver Cinderella dress more but I think the reason they changed it to blue is because the silver couldn’t be transferred to actual dresses for kids? It’s one of those animated “colors” that can’t truly shine on real clothing I suppose. Blue had to replace it in order to sell merchandise is what I’m assuming.
I love how you mentioned that her little green dress at the beginning of the film was foreshadowing her future as a frog later in the movie but so does her crown! The crown foreshadowing her future as a princess as well.
Her skin tone with that blue dress LOOKED AMAZING on her. This movie is so underrated🤷🏾♀️I also resonate with this movie a lot because it’s nice to see a Disney Princess that looks like me.
It is quite nice, especially since kinky and afro hair is really hard to animate particularly in 2d animation. So they chose to put in the work to represent the hair, very admirable when they could have been lazy and got the movie out faster.
Who else, as a child wanted to eat the food she served 😭 I definitely did. Man, I always watched TPF over and over again, it definitely has a special place in my heart.
The movie could have been great if all the frog stuff didnt exist...the opening was amazing and the ending was so satisfing BUT the middle was annoying and pointless..at least in reguards to Tiana..It felt like she was being punished for no reason..her not wanting a relationship or to settle down and have kids shouldnt have been an issue and her working hard and not spending time hanging out with others isnt inherently bad either...Tiana didnt always want to work that hard but had to reach her goal.and she was close so why would she have let up right then? Naveen needed to learn a lesson but Tiana could have at least stayed human during the movie and taught him hummility without turning into a frog herself.
@@vianjelos Yeah I agree it does seem like a punishment, but her friendship with Louis and Ray did help make this a wholesome, memorable film and shows character development for both the *prince* (which I would say is the first to do so) as well as Tiana. The movie also is a good twist to the original tale.
@@vianjelos If she hadn't turned into a frog, she wouldn't have learned a lesson too. There's an entire song for it. Tiana wasn't being punished, she was learning. A good character has flaws, you know? The movie wouldn't have been nearly as interesting if she wasn't put into the same situation as Naveen. Character growth...
Sallow Squalls Official I live near New Orleans too and all the kids that were taken to see this movie got it, including myself at 11 years old. Not sure how it was hard to follow. Sounds like a cop out, lol! At the beginning end, and even the middle of the day we know why the movie flopped bc Disney did not properly promote it. If I remember correctly they literally had frog sounds as it’s promotion. LOL! It also flopped bc people were not a fan of the only BLACK princess being a FROG the entire movie while the other non black princesses got to be human for majority if not all of their stories. They did Tiana dirty.
Sallow Squalls Official i dont think the story is difficult for children, i saw this movie in cinema when i was 5 years old i loved it and understood it very well. Children can understand more than you think
I never noticed she was the only Disney princess who worked. I love this movie, the outfits, music and chemistry between the lead characters are so magnetic and wonderful. 💚
I've been saying this same argument to all my friends. Tiana is the princess with the most stylish outfits. She has the most outfits of the Princesses in any movie and ALL of them look great on her. My favorite is the blue gown, but I also love her white wedding dress and the green wedding dress is amazing too.
Although tangled is my favorite princess movie, Tianas personality and character will always be my all time favorite. Her independence was so attractive and a powerful move on Disney. She resembles so many hard working women out there who are independent and don't need no men for support.
Rapunzel and Tiana are my favorite princesses. They're both hard-working people who got through a lot of hardships (Tiana got through the segregation and being low-income, Rapunzel survived an emotionally abusive adoptive mother) who didn't have a 'love at first sight' story with their princes. They had actual arcs and personalities, as well as being able to stand up for themselves.
I also loved how Rapunzel and Tiana didn’t marry a man because they ever thought they needed them. They were simply married because they’ve gone through so much together and because they loved each other.
Rapunzel, Mulan and Tiana are my favourites. I think their stories and characters are so well created, but different from each other that it’s impossible for me to choose between them.
it really is but i thought the frog scenes were a little boring but in the beginning when they are humans I LOVED IT. i almost wish they didnt base it off the frog prince story. but Almost there is probably one of the best disney songs in disney history.
I miss the 2D hand drawn Disney films so much. There’s just so much beauty and you can feel the love and effort that goes into making them. I was born in 2001 and since they started doing computer/3D animation, the *magic* of Disney movies has started to go out for me with each new one they release
I agree, but the one thing that only I seem to notice with Disney's CGI is that they're trying to copy Pixar's animation. Watch a modern CGI Disney movie and a Pixar movie back to back and you'll see what I mean.
Retrolord I’ve noticed it too! In 2010, Tangled made twice as much money as their budget. In 2012, Pixar’s Brave made nearly five times as much as their budget (albeit the same amount as Tangled). Pretty much since then, I feel like Disney wanted to bridge the gap between them and Pixar so they seemed more like one company than the other due to Pixar’s rising success. Coco, Toy Story 4, Onward, Incredibles 2, and Inside Out were all incredibly well received. From my memory, really only Wreck It Ralph, Frozen (1&2), Zootopia, and Moana have been successful. I think the issue Disney ran into was when they wanted to further their animation by making all of the live-action versions of their classic, beloved 2D animated movies from the Disney Renaissance. They’re trying another Renaissance but they aren’t producing new stories and the live-actions don’t have the same beautiful effect as the originals (the only one I enjoy is Cinderella (2015)) so it’s just ultimately failing :/ They definitely need a new approach cause the ultra realistic live action animation is not working and the similarity between them and Pixar is only growing so if they want to differentiate, they need to find something else.
@Optimus Prime Well excuse me ya jerk. I'll let you know that I'm 16 years old and in case you haven't noticed 3d animation is used too much now now and it's starting to get boring and overused. So you've got it wrong, 3d animation's overrated and 2d animation's underrated. Watch your back, you're messing with the big boys now.😡😡
@Optimus Prime Clearly you have no respect for 2D animation. I recommend you watch "the Wonders of 2d Animation" and then you'll see how wrong you are and maybe you'll respect 2d animation more. So watch "the Wonders of 2D Animation " right now before you reply to this comment.
Pixar has a few gems here and there. Toy Story franchise, Ratatouille, Coco, Moana, Tangled and Finding Nemo have all been excellent films, but you're right, a lot of the Pixar films haven't hit the same way that the hand-drawn animations in the 90s and 2000s have.
@@eebertdeebert and Aladdin, and Beauty and the beast was okay but what they did with the dress was horrible and the rest, especially Lion King and Mulan is flat out a disgrace to not only to the animations and Disney itself
I haven't seen the video but I would like to say that escpessially now as a new artist, I LOVE the visuals. Dr. Facilier moments were so good. The contrasts of the dark colors with the bright lights and constant threatening movements from the souls from the rest of the movie is on point. The purples and reds and oranges make such good ambience and really give off the perfect evil and manipulatuve, but playful vibe he had. Edit: I'm 15, I also think the 2D ones are better. Right now, lots of the characters have the same features with only small nuances to tell them apart. Also, speaking of the formess style, I read drawing a flapper character for fun and did some research. I read that they had some sort of corset-esque version of a binder that flattened breasts to maintain that form.
Ok but Dr. Facilier is one of the most underrated Disney villains. Like come on, he has one of the greatest songs, Friends on the Other side, and the whole aesthetic he has is just incredible. :D
Facts. I watched Beauty and the Beast and the animation in it was a little off at times, the frame rate looked a little low and sometimes depending on the scene Belle'S face looked completely different. It's a shame that just when Disney perfected hand drawn animation, they ditched it. And so has Ghibli.
Me too. I wish they would make more diverse princesses instead of just having like 4 poc and then the rest of them being white. But Disney is too busy making rip-off remakes.
@@deariisy I WAS WATCHING THE FILM ON TUESDAY AND IN THE BEGGINING I PUT TWO AND TWO TOGETHER NOW I'M SAD. Nah jk. It's still sad but atleast he was a good dad!
Yeah, we see a photograph of her dad wearing a soldier outfit and we never see him after the scenes from her childhood. They also talk about him in ways that would make the viewer infer that this was after his passing. So yeah, this is after he died Edit: And World War I started and finished in between the time skip from when she's a little girl to a young adult.
That will make it a much better ride. The ride itself is pretty fun but the theme and decoration was always a miss for me. That ''Song of the South" movie was not well known by most people, and it's never seen anymore (compared to Snow White, which is older but everyone has seen it). Song of the south was racist, the characters were not cute or lovable. Changing the ride to a well known , more recent movie with loved characters will make it so much better. I think they should also re-theme the Blue Bayou restaurant to this movie, the restaurant that overlooks the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. It has those fake fireflies and frog croaking noises, and really has the same ambiance as Princess and the Frog. Tiana was a restaurateur so she should have a restaurant at Disneyland.
I am I want to see what the queue will be like along with the ride I think the queue would be based on the costume party maybe and then once you are in the log it goes straight to Tiana’s and Navene’s POV idk I’m thinking about that than the music for the drop
THEY'RE DOING WHAT?????? THATS SO INCREDIBLE AHHHH i want them to make her restaurant in Disney too. I want a whole section of the park for PATF. God I love that movie
i love when lottie dances with naveen’s younger brother (i think that’s his younger brother, at least). she seems so happy to entertain him, and he’s smiling ear to ear. so cute.
Blue is HER COLOR imma say it till I die. I get it green is meant to represent the whole frog thing but when she walked out in that blue dress she looked AMAZING
Honestly, I think blue is her color too. The blue dress was so beautiful, and I actually have to say her Cal's uniform was really pretty too. (I like it more than even the iconic yellow one)
I wanna add maybe their decision making tiana’s hair long is to show her dedication to work? If i was working two jobs and had almost no me time i would definitely never think about cutting my hair. Also the bobbed style was hard to style and if she had to work all the time it would get messed up alot. As a working woman she would much prefer a simple bun or ponytail to the much more time consuming gelled style in the 20s. Idk maybe this is all dumb and doesnt make sense but thats just what i though :)
Honestly...that doesn’t make much sense given Tiana being black. Our hair doesn’t grow that fast, so if anything, her having long hair shows how she’s able to not only work herself near death with all those jobs, but also find time to take care of herself. ESPECIALLY since it was the 20s and the only things black women really had to work with at the time were a hot comb and butter.
@@taz--ell869 Our hair could still be long...us being black doesn't effect how long it take to grow our hair..many white people don't grow their hair fast it just depends on the person...my hair grows really fast (I am black) and it was to my back before(I cut it and got locs) and it didn't take long for my hair to grow long...
@@aida.mariee Also I think what Adriel is saying isn't that it's improbable that Tiana has long hair, but instead that Tiana must've worked rather hard to get her hair to be so long, on top of the fact that she has to continuously work so hard.
@@taz--ell869 tiana didn't have curly hair, she had more like wavy hair, so what you're saying, doesn't add up. It makes sense for her just to make a simple bun and go to work instead of STYLING a bob haircut everyday
I'm personally not a fan of Elsa's dresses since they don't really fit in with the style everyone else wears. Her dresses (I mean like the one after let it go for example) look like more modern prom dresses. Her original dress is pretty tho. I also wasn't a fan of her braid but that's just because she looked banging with open hair and I would have loved to see her with open hair more often. Lol I'm sorry for rambling. :( This is just my opinion so if you disagree that's fine.
@@certifiedtrash2298 She is a unique Snow Queen and a Disney Princess. Yes her let it go dress is more modern but it is beautiful on her . She is still fashionable. Her Queen dress wasn't cool , she looked like an old queen not a princess later queen. I prefer her let it go dress in addition of her fifth spirit dress , her purple dress and her adventure dress .
“Tiana is the only princess with a job” Cinderella and Snow White who were forced to clean their houses: *aHeM.* Edit: This was a joke, don’t take it too literal
Tiana just looks stunning regardless of what she is wearing, she could be a model. Girl could wear a plastic bag and still make it work and that's on facts.
And I loved the relationship between her and her friend, tiana never judged her and was well educated on the fact that that was the way the girl grew up, and how they stayed friends til the end ☺️🥺 And Tiana was never jealous, just an amazing friend!
I remember going to a Disney on Ice show when I was younger and they brought out all the princesses as they announced the main character trait they represented. They said Tiana represented "efficiency" while Cinderella represented "hard work" ... Let that sink in
Cinderella represents getting lucky af what were they on lmao? Cinderella worked, but not because she had an ultimate goal or dream which required the labor she was doing. Tiana was forced to work BECAUSE of what she wanted, on top of being able to survive, and that was almost taken away from her multiple times. If they're gonna go the realistic "work hard" route it would most certainly be about the young African American woman in the 1920s trying to raise money to run her own restaurant, and NOT the born-rich white damsel who got the help of a literal fairy to make her dream of living in a damn castle come true. Both women endured hardships, but Tiana's journey was by far the most relatable and down-to-earth (as down-to-earth as being transformed into a frog is, but I digress). Cinderella reads more like a light fairytale, which it is. Just shows how scarce any kind of analysis goes into Tiana and her story. And though this is only one example of it, you rarely find any sort of appreciation for this movie AT ALL, because it was left in Disney's back-burner for not being an instant hit and served as the final straw to move completely to 3D. Forgotten and overlooked.
@@pokaay3163 Cinderella was literally ABUSED by her step-family, and made a servant in her own house. Also, she did not dream of marrying a prince, the whole purpose of the ball was to have a day off, she just wanted a break from her step-family treating her like trash. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love Tiana, but calling Cinderella a damsel in distress is a disgrace to people who were abused, and had no way of getting out of that situation. You need to note the context in which the Cinderella story took place. By the estimated time period, there weren't any social services, women wouldn't have survived on their own, and you were shunned if you attempted to run away from home. She literally DID NOT have a choice. And yet, she still embodied the traits of kindness, perseverance, and imagination. She ran into the world of her own mind because she did not have any other escape. And despite all of that, she still managed to become a genuine and kind person. The cycle of abuse is a difficult one to break, and she did it. Both their stories are relatable, for different reasons. A woman of color working multiple shifts to support herself and achieve her goals would likely relate more to Tiana, whereas a girl who was bullied and abused would relate to Cinderella, and find hope in her story. One is not greater than the other, there are very real and relatable moments in both films (Cinderella having her dead mother's dress ripped from her very body by the step-sisters, Tiana's scene on the balcony feeling hopeless about her dreams coming true). You do not have to dismiss one to appreciate the other.
@Always Unlucky I feel like it could go like this: Cinderella had perseverance And Tiana would have hard work See? It's simple, this would have solved so much problems!
Honestly this movie will always be my favorite Disney movie!! I grew up watching this and tiana taught me how to be an independent hard worker. She's such an inspiring princess and I could only wish to be half as driven as her 😔
@@nope2571 yep, she technically is not a princess but look at a set of Disney princess dolls and she’ll be in the set. She is included in the line up of Disney princesses (which I think she earned tbh) therefore her movie is a Disney princess movie.
7:50 i think Tiana having a low pony tail instead of the bob might also have to do with the fact that nowadays a bob is seen as more "stylish" and "cool" and a low pony says "working gal" better than the bob
tiana deserves a sequel or a tv series a la tangled the series where she ISNT a frog the entire time!!! and it would be a great opportunity to showcase more 20s fashion
Thank you so much for including so many real-life photos of African-American women of the era!!! My beloved great-grandmother was born in 1910 & we have zero childhood or young photos of her, so it brought me so much joy to see what ladies like her wore at the time. I do know that she was known for her thick long hair until she was in her 90's.
yess! I love her dress. It was a little upsetting seeing that she was a frog for majority of the film though. The 20’s fashion in this movie was everything. Off topic but when I think of 20s, I immediately think of the 1927 film metropolis. Love your content btw❤️
I always get emotional talking about this movie not only is it really beautiful and realistic. It's accurate to new Orleans lifestyle the voodoo, the music, the love, you can tell they did research. I also love how the subliminally put in segregation during the time, when they sat at the back of the bus and that your 'background' comment. But they also showed her and lottie genuine friendship. All in all it's a wonderful for the first black Disney princess.😍
On top of how amazing the message of The Princess and the Frog is, as well as how fantastic the fashion and love story are, we need to appreciate Anika Noni Rose. Girl has some killer pipes! She brings such power and emotion to the already strong songs. As an alto, it makes me very happy that my favorite Disney Princess is also an alto (at least predominantly). “Almost There” is my anthem!
About your point regarding the bob haircut, I understand your point on working class women getting bob cuts because it was simple and convenient, but I personally feel like it just works to betray an aspect of her character we saw already. We see in the movie that Tiana barely makes time for anything, and a deleted scene reveals that she only had time to let her mother tailor a dress for her after she quit all her jobs. My theory is, she was simply way too busy to make time for a haircut (look at the way the movie reintroduces us to Tiana after the timeskip). Otherwise, I thoroughly enjoyed this video and this lesson on 20s fashion history!!! Tiana's definitely one of my personal favorite Disney princesses and I'm glad to see the RonJohn team didn't just take extreme "creative liberties" with the outfits in the movie.
AGREED, and also, this movie just had a whole different and amazing vibe, while the other disney movies (I know they all are mostly about different things etc) but I still think that the other disney movies seem too fake and unrealistic, while this oneeee is amazing and realistic
Tiana’s dimples give me life, I love every moment she’s on screen. This is one of my favourite disney movies but dang I wish it had more of their human scenes, they’re just such great designs. Great video, I loved focusing more on the fashion and you made some great analysis!
I love Tiana's character as a princess but my Favorite character in the movie is Lottie. She is an amazing friend to Tiana and even supported her business.
yes, but also Tiana was the only princess who was privileged to be given real timeline and country to draw historically accurate dresses for. Disney should have done that half an age ago, so many missed opportunities. Instead, they made almost all the outfits look like 1950s DIY dresses or mixed and matched centuries and countries. Even Jasmin and Aurora weren't as lucky as Tiana.
There is a theory that since lottie you see during all the film wears exclusively pink expect her Mardi grass gown. So that means that she had that dress reserved for tiana in her measurements.
I always thought tiana having a bob hair only in the dream meant that she did wanted to be at some level in fashion, but was postponing it for after her dream became true, like everything else in her life
Having her be the most stylish one makes sence as she is the daughter of a seamstress; though seamstress are not designers, it seems like her mother also fulfills that role to a lighter extent. She most likely learned from her.
Yeah! My mother’s granny was a seamstress too, she was always on her fashion magazines and fashion catalogues, she would learn of what was the “thing” because of those kind of things :0!
I mean her mother did make Charlotte’s dresses
Every seamstress is a designer in some right. Even if we're just altering premade patterns we get into sewing because we want to improve upon ready-to-wear & flex our creativity.
Nicole Mack what’s the difference?
I'm annoyed at people these days Right, and the other princesses must have smelled musty
I loved the fact that Lottie was still a good friend and not just SPOILED.
She's honestly adorable and just naive. She's kind and even though she's indeed spoiled , she doesn't think highly of herself. She treats tiana like a equal. And for that racist time period , she was basically a good human overall
IKR, she reminds me of Glinda (or Galinda). Loud, rich, annoying yet sweet and naive
Yes! I love those characters that are rich but not spoiled, but yet likes fancy things, AND a supportive friend!
Right? I absolutely fell in love with her when she let the Prince go. It was so unexpected because she was bratty throughout the film. What she did established her as a person with a good heart.
She was a bit of an airhead but I liked her a lot and her heart was in the right place :)
I once heard a theory that said that the blue dress Tiana uses at the dance was actually meant for her. Throughout the movie we see that Lottie basically wear exclusively pink, so it would make no sense for her to have a blue dress out of nowhere. Therefore, people (including myself) belive that the blue dress was a gift Lottie was going to give to Tiana anyways😅
also Lotties dresses are all huge a puffy, but the blue gown is very body fitting 😅
It was for sure for Tiana, the contrast in style to what Charlotte usually dons makes it almost clear. It also shows a considerate side of her, and how even as a spoiled rich kid she takes the time to think about people she cares about.
YESSS! Also think about it this way:
If you look hard enough it looks like Charlotte has a smaller shoulder/chest width (im sorry-) than Tiana. I have a knack for small details because I like to draw Disney characters and this is what I noticed. Now, nothing is stopping Charlotte from buying a blue dress. Yes, it's very unlikely, but it's entirely possible that she could've bought a blue dress because she liked it. However, if you consider what I pointed out, and how Tiana looked in it (it looked like it fit her like a glove), why would Charlotte buy a dress that doesn't fit her properly?
So I actually have a theory that because Tiana's mom was the main seamstress of the family, she made the dress for her and had Charlotte hold onto it for when the time was right
Basically I think the blue dress is an example of “show, don’t tell”.
I think the reason why Tiana has longer hair in almost every scene from the movie is because they wanted to emphasize the fact that she cares more about her job than being trendy and looking fancy, that's why in her fantasy where she's already successful she looks glamourous with short hair and expensive clothes since she doesn't have to worry about money anymore
Same lol
Also it’s easy to tie back so it doesn’t get in her face when she’s working
That's actually a really good explanation. Makes sense for the hardworking Tiana 💕
Agree
She's also shown being really overworked and having little time to rest, so maybe she just didn't have time for a haircut in the first place.
You know, Tiana always felt the most real to me. Like, someone who could really exist and talk to me. She had a job, an actual personality, and she and Navean had ACTUAL romantic chemistry rather than the whole “it was love at first sight! They got married a minute after meeting.” She was sassy and stubborn and had actual character flaws, witch mad her all the more interesting, and her arc throughout the movie all the more satisfying. I love that movie so much.. and the music is glorious
Not gonna lie, i was originally innit for the new orleans and jazz but then fell for tiana herself
Same but thats also why i loved Rapunzel ! But tiana is honestly one of my favorite princesses and princess and the frog is my favorite Disney princess movie other then like others
True one of my favorite Disney princess 💖
bambi Moana as well
Tiana was based on a real black woman!!!
prince naveen also the cutest prince PERIODT
He also had a personality, unlike Prince Eric from the Little Mermaid.
Like his whole thing was:
"I gotta find this girl... she sung to me... I'm a sailor. I love you Ariel."
Tell me I'm wrong
Also, doesn't Tiana and Naveen's relationship remind you of Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet from Pride and Prejudice?
Elizabeth humbled that mofo Mr. Darcy, just like Tiana did to Naveen
naveen and adam (beast when he’s in human form) are definitely the best looking imo
AND actually has a personality
I was so in love with Naveen as a kid 🥺 and he is one of the few princes who really made an important part of the story and were not only there to defeat the villain and rescue the princess
@@julianomuertas2023 He didn't save anything lol, She saves Naveen PERIODT... This movie perpetuates important life values of self-reliance and general benevolence, that all the other movies fail to do, even though it's a fairytale, it's not a fairy tale there is a real process that leads to the happy ending. It shows girls, especially black girls, that they can take charge and their dreams are achievable despite the obstacles. IT SHOWS TRUE DEVELOPMENT OF HEALTHY LOVE. In the beginning, they didn't even like each other... not like the other movies where they just meet some guy that helps them and then they marry him.
She spent most of the movie naked, and still had more outfits than most princesses somehow
Ariel was close though. She wears like 4 or 5 dresses in her movie as well as spending the first bit wearing nothing but seashells.
Actually Ariel has 7 :0
(seashell,sail dress,pink gown,nightgown,village/blue one(personal favorite),the silver dress whem she turned human again and the wedding dress :D
I never seen little mermaid, but yeah ^u^ Anna I think had the most dresses but Tiana in my opinion was more fashionable. It's hard to compare the two, though. That's tough. Giselle had a lot of dresses in her movie too but I don't think she had near as many as the others. I haven't seen every princess movie. I just know that they spent more work on making Princess and the frog more historically accurate because it was more of a recent movie and they had access to photos and stuff and there's still people alive form then, too. For Tangled or Brave, it's hard to find photos from way back in the 1800's so they couldn't be as accurate on those. Frozen was modern so scratch that. Enchanted was more of a fantasy themed which was partly modern so scratch that as well. Old ones like Snow white and Cinderella were just dumb all they wanted to do was glamorize those movies back then. The only historically accurate classic besides Princess and the frog is probably Aristocats
@Brad Miller IKR that's why I don't approve of the Disney's Little Mermaid. It's too glamorized. Why would they make a 15-16 year old have seashells for a bra?
@Brad Miller Little Mermaid=Most overrated Disney movie ever. Should have warning labels
also I'm not someone who complains a lot about this kind of stuff but come on!
@@jocelynecupcake I don’t like the little mermaid, she feels like such a little brat to me
I love that Naveen and her are an interracial couple too. He's South Asian while she's African American. While I do know that Naveen comes from a made up place, his mom wore a saree in one of the scenes(traditional south Asian wear). Only other interracial Disney couple I can think of is Pocahontas and the colonizer. Would've loved if Pocahontas had a Native American prince.
The story was based of the real Pocahontas. A native prince never once existed in her life, and it would be a dumb write in. The real Pocahontas marrying a European man was true.
@@Snow-xd4rv lol you mean Pocahontas was kidnapped and forced to marry a man when she was like 14 I think
@@Snow-xd4rv Please. The *only* things from that movie that are accurate are her name, the existence of John Smith, and the fact that the Jamestown explorers were a bunch of pricks. She didn't even marry John Smith--she was forced to marry John Rolfe who was a completely different guy and she died of tuberculosis or pneumonia at 20 years old after having his kid.
i never knew Naveen was south asian descent that makes me so happy (im south asian)
@@lenaelisabeth I think she was 10 or 11 at the time, which is worst.
PRINCESS AND THE FROG IS THE MOST UNDERRATED DISNEY MOVIE EVER
Nah, it has the worst moral i have seen in a disney movie
rightttt
treasure planet? atlantis the lost empire?????
Y T The moral is if you work hard and be kind and help others you can reach your goals.. how is this bad.
@@eliserich1063 throughout the movie they make it look like Tiana's dream to work hard every day of her life isn't what she needs. They just keep repeating that what she really needs is a man, heck she even abandons her dream at some point. Even worse when you know she ends up having both her restaurant and a man
considering how most of Charlotte's clothes are pink , maybe Charlotte bought that light blue gown specifically for Tiana
That's truly sweet of her
it fits- also in general, even if you changed the dress a bit and made it pink, it still doesn’t look like something Charlotte would wear. Maybe because she wore pink poofy dresses most of the movie. idk.
I love hercfriend
@Destiny Garza probably
Im pretty sure lol bc if she asked tiana she would have said no
i wish disney didn't ruin the franchise by making everything 3d, I want my good traditional drawn movies back.
actually tiana is technically 3d...
Yesss. Princesses actually looked like people, not anomalies with giant glowing eyes
@@laila.jw08 no princess and the frog was 2d. 3d would be a movie like frozen I think your thinking of it being digital which all the diseny movies are.
Omg it was detailed as well and was the best nostalgic artstyle ever and honestly Id rather watch princess and the frog and cinderella than frozen and ripoffs
Tangled is beautiful and ain’t no one taking that away from me. The lighting especially shines with the lanterns, showing off a strength 2D animation doesn’t have (fantastic and dynamic lighting). 3D is cool. I do still wish we had more 2D animations. Check out Klaus for a 2D animation made recently that combines 3D lighting and 2D drawings in an innovative way.
And she’s one of if not THE prettiest Disney princesses
IMO she is~
She definitely is
She is with belle falling behind :v
DonutDIY Yeah, no
DonutDIY i mean belle is ok, shes smart and courageous and would do anything for her family
She SERVED and ate up every single look she had
I see what you did there. Very clever.🤣🤣
Period
tiana is honestly the best role model from the disney princess
1) she actually works hard
2) she wasn’t a princess in the beginnings
3) she wasn’t rich growing up which a lot of kids can relate to
4) she actually has a job
5) she is in fact the most stylish princess
Purrr
Yep! But another good role model is Mulan. She worked hard and wasn’t born strong. Mulan also had to work to where she was in the end of the film.
Even Mulan is not a joke
Yes!! Cinderella and Mulan fit in those categories as well
I think every Disney princess is a good role model, they just are in different aspects, all of them are inspiring and magical in every way
I hate being dramatic but I seriously almost cry when people talk about Tiana she was so important to me growing up as a black girl and she’s so extremely underrated so thank you for talking about her with so much love and care 💕
Me to I get emotional with her and true Jackson VP
nezquick I’m a white girl but I love her. She’s so pretty and hardworking. Better than Cinderella. And I love her friend Lottie too.
Flower Fennec Fox Cinderella was hardworking too, let’s not put down other girls to lift up others. They’re both spectacular role-models.
Elmer Jericho i’m sorry but last i checked Tiana was a black woman working in the 20’s??? with all due respect, she had it harder.
chile- anyway exactly preach
she’s the prettiest Disney Princess to me.
Edit: I like the others too! but she stands out the most to me.
for sure. she's my favorite.
Honestly though, her hair is so beautiful and curly, she got such a big beautiful eyes and her eyebrows are goals!!Girl did not have to snatch my wig she could just have asked for it🥺😞💕
She's real pretty (all of them are) but I personally think Mulan is the prettiest.
Stella Same. ✨
Itzel Montalvo IKR!
Finally my girl Tiana getting the recognition she DESERVES
"If anyone plans to get married in 2020 this would not be a bad dress to wear"
That's insulting to the dress. The dress doesn't deserve the atrocity that is 2020
My cousin already has married and had a different dress...
Lux0rd I’d wear the dress to anything. wEdDiNgS aRe oVeRrAtEd
Eh true
MidnightDragonss they aren’t even complaining
Lux0rd don’t be so negative
I've always been so upset that Ms. Tiana never got to be human for a full feature film... This just makes me more upset because can you IMAGINE the looks she would serve????
RIGHT
I honestly do love the movie still. It's an unfortunate, but her frog design was really cute and had a lot of personality to it (I will always love that they made her left-handed and even incorporated it into the scene where she minces the mushroom as a frog!) and I love how she befriended Louis and Ray and I'm not sure how it could have been done without her being a frog because the plot kind of relies on that happening.
if they make it 3d i will kill someone
Plus naveen hotness more
love me some moss FELT. I stg all the new 3d shit makes me wanna go absolutely FERAL.
Ok I just thought of this while falling asleep!
-Tiana was gifted the blue dress from her friend.
-Cinderella was gifted her then white/silver now blue dress by the fairy.
Tiana and Cinderella are both hard working, hence the design was an homage to the other hard working princess!
Not sure if this was the intention but my mind is blown!
They probably had to improvise because they didn't want to make it a full copy of the frog prince they ran out of ideas or something
They were not the same. Tiana was better
Kash Dior I didn’t say they were, Siri says the definition of homage is special honor or respect shown publicly.
Also it’s just my personal theory. 🤷🏻♀️
Fondant Swirl oh ...ok
@@fondantswirl2019 it makes me uncomfortable that you compare a princess that we waiting so long for to just another generic blonde haired blue eyed princess.
Dude calm down I'm joking don't take it to the heart 🔼🙂🔫
Fun fact: Tiana’s based on the chef Leah Chase
I remember Harry Connick Jr doing a segment on his show about her!!
I was looking to see if anyone would mention mention that! 🤩
I’ve always wanted to go to her restaurant
i’m gonna look her up, thanks!
Growing up Tiana was always my favorite Disney princess. Not only was she one of the best character wise but she also had the best wardrobe. Even so the writers made sure that they handled her character arc with care considering this was the first black princess they ever gave us. They also rounded out the world of 1920s New Orleans. They completely used it to their advantage which a lot of other princess movies fail to do. We got to see the inner city, the jazz scene, black culinary arts which really came into play during this time, the swampy bayou area which was in many black folk songs during the time, and the "mysterious" afrian voodoo part of it that got blown out of proportion during this time and caused many riots blaming black people for their "devilish" ways. For once in a while the villain was genuinely scary and this film is filled with sooo many bops. Navien also had great character development as well which is pretty rare in these movies. All in all, dare I say this may be the best disney princess film they've made.
Man, Friends on the Other Side was one of the best villain songs ever. The visuals, the era appropriate style, the catchiness, the everything, just awesome.
She's also always been my favorite Disney Princess and all these facts are so true
"Don't you disrespect me little man!" 🎶 🔥
@@nienkeh301 omg yesss. ARRREEE YAA REEEEEAADDYY😭
Brookie Brook aaaahh That lyric tho xddd
I'm with you on the 2D animation. It's timeless and can be rewatched whereas 3D always improves making the old 3D movies hard to watch as you notice the flaws and lower quality as opposed to whatever the new movies at the moment are
That's an interesting take on it. I personally agree with the sentiment that 2D animation shouldn't go away just because 3D styles are becoming more prevalent- the two are not comparable in terms of technological advancement. Movies like Spiderverse and Klaus, more popular examples, showcase how 2D and 3D techniques can be used hand-in-hand to improve the visuals harmoniously, and not in competition with one another.
Unpopular opinion: Tiana's green lily pad dress is one of the prettiest Disney princess dresses🙈
Ya i agree
*Titana give oil*
Incase you weren't counting thats 13 dresses/outfits 2 aprons 2 coats/overwear and one hat/headpiece
One of the prettiest, agree. But it's just not Tiana. It's too much for her. Maybe that's because it's not her choice but magic's.
Now this is either going to sound stupid or sad to y’all: my family celebrated when Tiana came out. Never had I ever seen someone represent me in the Disney world and definitely not someone who was an independent hard-working woman💕💖
I literally cried haha. I was so excited
It's not stupid or sad. Yeah she was a frog for 80% of the movie but it's still worth celebrating that Disney finally included a black princess. It was so long overdue.
that's not stupid or sad! that's sweet
Awww that's so sweet!!
Not stupid at all! This movie is incredible and so important! Especially as disney has had a racist past, this showed real change.
Lottie is hands down one of the funniest characters Disney has ever created. She's sweet, driven, chaotic, and loyal. She should've gotten a spin-off. Great video, as always!
Imagine all the looks Tiana could serve if she wasn’t a frog for half of the movie 😭

They did her dirty!

@@rhea4559 that's the one ^v^
At Disney World one of the resorts is themed after New Orleans so they do a lot of Tiana stuff there. And yeah Splash Mountain is going to be Princess and the Frog themed. I can’t wait to ride the ride while singing “going down the bayou”!
New Orleans Square sells the beignets in Disneyland!
Honey, we didn’t need proof to know she’s a stylish queen.
7:45 Maybe the reason Tiana never had the bobbed hair is because she was too busy to stay “on trend” What with working all the time. Lottie and Tiana’s friends all have shorter hair, because they are carefree and have time to style their hair. Kind of a stretch but I makes sense to me.
That's actually a really sensible observation. Her friends can take time to party and have outings with one another- they are very social, and as such more likely to be trendy and follow popular styles and fashions of the time. Tiana contrasts this with her plain, often disheveled looks, and conversely her traditional/low-effort outfits including not going through the trouble, time, or money of keeping up with mainstream hairstyles. Very cool
Yes!! And then only in her flashback where she’s comfortable and living the dream she has the luxury to be able to have the trendy haircut
I bow down to you im to un-classified for this
As a little black girl back in 2009 the movie made me so proud. When I was in 3 rd grade. I noticed that I looked different from everyone else(I think this is when I started to notice race and color) just being able to have a cartoon character that looks like me being successful made me want to do the same. Ever since she has been a role model for me, and I loved seeing her at disneyland. She taught me you don't need a man in your life, work hard, or else your not going any where in life. Keep going and work towards your dreams. Be humble, and countless others. She so underrated.
I couldn't agree more😌
But it's not wrong to have a man :)
@@RedRoseSeptember22 oh yea no but I am just saying she choose what was right for her
@@RedRoseSeptember22 she never said it was wrong to have a man, however completely relying on one is terrible. You completely missed her point

Nah I completely agree that the 2d animation is better than the 3D. I mean it’s nice and I do love certain 3D animated shows and movies but nothin beats 2d edit: we got some people of class and thank you soooo much for all the likes
LITERALLY
2D feels special and more alive
2D brings in the nostalgia of Disney animation
Yess
When it’s 3D animation the faces look stiff, I can’t explain it.
last time I was this early, Cinderella’s dress was still silver
i laugh so i don't cry :')
Growing up, I honestly thought her dress in the movie was a light blue, or almost gray! WHY DID THEY TURN IT BLUE?! (honestly the dress looked good in the updated version with the butterflies NGL)
BRING BACK THE SILVER DRESS AND MAKE AURORA'S BLUE!!! :'(
I personally do love the silver Cinderella dress more but I think the reason they changed it to blue is because the silver couldn’t be transferred to actual dresses for kids? It’s one of those animated “colors” that can’t truly shine on real clothing I suppose. Blue had to replace it in order to sell merchandise is what I’m assuming.
what about cinderellas hair color? it was originally strawberry blonde not blonde
I love how you mentioned that her little green dress at the beginning of the film was foreshadowing her future as a frog later in the movie but so does her crown! The crown foreshadowing her future as a princess as well.
Her skin tone with that blue dress LOOKED AMAZING on her. This movie is so underrated🤷🏾♀️I also resonate with this movie a lot because it’s nice to see a Disney Princess that looks like me.
Period. This black queen of course is stylish
tiana= Black beauty
Nah all princess are oh I’m going to fined “true love and live happy ever after “ I mean princess in the frog still a great movie :)
ScardyCat Gacha um what does that have to be with her being stylish?
Rose got zero clue I’m just saying the movie is ok
Ummmm but what about Kida THE FIRST DISNEY BLACK QUEEN YES SHES QUEEN
This may sound weird but I love the fact that they make her hair pretty realistic to real black hair and how dark her skin is
Her and Naveen’s designs were based off of their voice actors! Anika Noni Rose and Bruno Campos, respectively
AMiRiTE? Ok that’s ADORABLE I love character design based on the VA
It is quite nice, especially since kinky and afro hair is really hard to animate particularly in 2d animation. So they chose to put in the work to represent the hair, very admirable when they could have been lazy and got the movie out faster.
AMiRiTE? Sis your telling me there’s actually people who look that beautiful
even if they were frogs for most of the movie
Who else, as a child wanted to eat the food she served 😭 I definitely did. Man, I always watched TPF over and over again, it definitely has a special place in my heart.
Yeah especially the bread.
It always angered me that the hottest disney couple spent most of their movie as frogs
The movie could have been great if all the frog stuff didnt exist...the opening was amazing and the ending was so satisfing BUT the middle was annoying and pointless..at least in reguards to Tiana..It felt like she was being punished for no reason..her not wanting a relationship or to settle down and have kids shouldnt have been an issue and her working hard and not spending time hanging out with others isnt inherently bad either...Tiana didnt always want to work that hard but had to reach her goal.and she was close so why would she have let up right then? Naveen needed to learn a lesson but Tiana could have at least stayed human during the movie and taught him hummility without turning into a frog herself.
I want a man to love me unconditionally, even on days where I look like a frog....
@@vianjelos Yeah I agree it does seem like a punishment, but her friendship with Louis and Ray did help make this a wholesome, memorable film and shows character development for both the *prince* (which I would say is the first to do so) as well as Tiana. The movie also is a good twist to the original tale.
@@vianjelos If she hadn't turned into a frog, she wouldn't have learned a lesson too. There's an entire song for it.
Tiana wasn't being punished, she was learning. A good character has flaws, you know? The movie wouldn't have been nearly as interesting if she wasn't put into the same situation as Naveen. Character growth...
I mean then what would happen? the movie needs plot
Princess and The Frog has never gotten it’s due! The music in the film is so good, the story line was great, and the characters as humans were hot!
Sallow Squalls Official I live near New Orleans too and all the kids that were taken to see this movie got it, including myself at 11 years old. Not sure how it was hard to follow. Sounds like a cop out, lol! At the beginning end, and even the middle of the day we know why the movie flopped bc Disney did not properly promote it. If I remember correctly they literally had frog sounds as it’s promotion. LOL! It also flopped bc people were not a fan of the only BLACK princess being a FROG the entire movie while the other non black princesses got to be human for majority if not all of their stories. They did Tiana dirty.
Sallow Squalls Official your opinion you can keep it
Sallow Squalls Official i dont think the story is difficult for children, i saw this movie in cinema when i was 5 years old i loved it and understood it very well. Children can understand more than you think
Sallow Squalls Official it’s not hard to get. just say you don’t want to see inclusive disney movies next time you comment something like that.
i get chills when Friends on the Other Side starts holy shit
I never noticed she was the only Disney princess who worked. I love this movie, the outfits, music and chemistry between the lead characters are so magnetic and wonderful. 💚
I mean technically Mulan worked as a soldier too.
Didn’t Cinderella technically work? I still think Tiana is the best though
@@icecreamsundd ehh, Cinderella was forced & wasn’t getting paid 😂
@@brittneyamiya yeah I guess that makes sense
I've been saying this same argument to all my friends. Tiana is the princess with the most stylish outfits. She has the most outfits of the Princesses in any movie and ALL of them look great on her. My favorite is the blue gown, but I also love her white wedding dress and the green wedding dress is amazing too.
I like both her wedding dresses but i love her “almost there” dress the most ♥️
Although tangled is my favorite princess movie, Tianas personality and character will always be my all time favorite. Her independence was so attractive and a powerful move on Disney. She resembles so many hard working women out there who are independent and don't need no men for support.
Rapunzel and Tiana are my favorite princesses. They're both hard-working people who got through a lot of hardships (Tiana got through the segregation and being low-income, Rapunzel survived an emotionally abusive adoptive mother) who didn't have a 'love at first sight' story with their princes. They had actual arcs and personalities, as well as being able to stand up for themselves.
I also loved how Rapunzel and Tiana didn’t marry a man because they ever thought they needed them. They were simply married because they’ve gone through so much together and because they loved each other.
Rapunzel, Mulan and Tiana are my favourites. I think their stories and characters are so well created, but different from each other that it’s impossible for me to choose between them.
heyyyy moa
@@amandalynn4979 Finally someone who says Rapunzel was *emotionally* abused. Like she was living a good life physically
Bob haircuts need a lot of care which is why Tiana went with medium length hair, while Lottie has the bob.
Oh that's a good detail
Princess and The Frog is SO underrated but I'm excited to have a Disney princess who looks like me!
Same!
Same💯
I love your channel!💕
@@chrystianaw8256 Aww thank you!!
it really is but i thought the frog scenes were a little boring but in the beginning when they are humans I LOVED IT. i almost wish they didnt base it off the frog prince story. but Almost there is probably one of the best disney songs in disney history.
I miss the 2D hand drawn Disney films so much. There’s just so much beauty and you can feel the love and effort that goes into making them. I was born in 2001 and since they started doing computer/3D animation, the *magic* of Disney movies has started to go out for me with each new one they release
I agree, but the one thing that only I seem to notice with Disney's CGI is that they're trying to copy Pixar's animation. Watch a modern CGI Disney movie and a Pixar movie back to back and you'll see what I mean.
Retrolord I’ve noticed it too! In 2010, Tangled made twice as much money as their budget. In 2012, Pixar’s Brave made nearly five times as much as their budget (albeit the same amount as Tangled). Pretty much since then, I feel like Disney wanted to bridge the gap between them and Pixar so they seemed more like one company than the other due to Pixar’s rising success. Coco, Toy Story 4, Onward, Incredibles 2, and Inside Out were all incredibly well received. From my memory, really only Wreck It Ralph, Frozen (1&2), Zootopia, and Moana have been successful. I think the issue Disney ran into was when they wanted to further their animation by making all of the live-action versions of their classic, beloved 2D animated movies from the Disney Renaissance. They’re trying another Renaissance but they aren’t producing new stories and the live-actions don’t have the same beautiful effect as the originals (the only one I enjoy is Cinderella (2015)) so it’s just ultimately failing :/ They definitely need a new approach cause the ultra realistic live action animation is not working and the similarity between them and Pixar is only growing so if they want to differentiate, they need to find something else.
@Optimus Prime Well excuse me ya jerk. I'll let you know that I'm 16 years old and in case you haven't noticed 3d animation is used too much now now and it's starting to get boring and overused. So you've got it wrong, 3d animation's overrated and 2d animation's underrated. Watch your back, you're messing with the big boys now.😡😡
@Optimus Prime Clearly you have no respect for 2D animation. I recommend you watch "the Wonders of 2d Animation" and then you'll see how wrong you are and maybe you'll respect 2d animation more. So watch "the Wonders of 2D Animation " right now before you reply to this comment.
Pixar has a few gems here and there. Toy Story franchise, Ratatouille, Coco, Moana, Tangled and Finding Nemo have all been excellent films, but you're right, a lot of the Pixar films haven't hit the same way that the hand-drawn animations in the 90s and 2000s have.
I almost thought of wanting a real live action of The Princess and The Frog but then I remembered Tiana kissed a frog, well that dream sunk.
Plus, Disney messes up every Live-Action (Except Cinderella, Cinderella's live action was lovely.)
@@eebertdeebert and Aladdin, and Beauty and the beast was okay but what they did with the dress was horrible and the rest, especially Lion King and Mulan is flat out a disgrace to not only to the animations and Disney itself
they made a live action version of beauty and the beast, though. can't be too hard to make a cgi frog and other animals too
@@beatbyanni Fun Fact: Tiana was originally suppose to be voiced by Beyoncé, however she refused to audition for some reason??????
@@thelogicalhypergamist8177 Good news: Princess and Frog will be getting a TV show.
I haven't seen the video but I would like to say that escpessially now as a new artist, I LOVE the visuals. Dr. Facilier moments were so good. The contrasts of the dark colors with the bright lights and constant threatening movements from the souls from the rest of the movie is on point. The purples and reds and oranges make such good ambience and really give off the perfect evil and manipulatuve, but playful vibe he had.
Edit: I'm 15, I also think the 2D ones are better. Right now, lots of the characters have the same features with only small nuances to tell them apart. Also, speaking of the formess style, I read drawing a flapper character for fun and did some research. I read that they had some sort of corset-esque version of a binder that flattened breasts to maintain that form.
Ok but Dr. Facilier is one of the most underrated Disney villains. Like come on, he has one of the greatest songs, Friends on the Other side, and the whole aesthetic he has is just incredible. :D
He was so scary to me as a child
Facts. I watched Beauty and the Beast and the animation in it was a little off at times, the frame rate looked a little low and sometimes depending on the scene Belle'S face looked completely different. It's a shame that just when Disney perfected hand drawn animation, they ditched it. And so has Ghibli.
@@mooominpapa No, Ghilbi is still going, soon they'll release a new movie though I forgot hows it called.
@@Pollicina_db the new movie Ghibli is releasing is in 3d sadly.
Is it just me or I really want more black princesses

WHO ELSE IS EXCITED ABOUT SPLASH MOUNTAIN BECOMING PRINCESS AND THE FROG THEMED
That will make it a much better ride. The ride itself is pretty fun but the theme and decoration was always a miss for me. That ''Song of the South" movie was not well known by most people, and it's never seen anymore (compared to Snow White, which is older but everyone has seen it). Song of the south was racist, the characters were not cute or lovable. Changing the ride to a well known , more recent movie with loved characters will make it so much better. I think they should also re-theme the Blue Bayou restaurant to this movie, the restaurant that overlooks the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. It has those fake fireflies and frog croaking noises, and really has the same ambiance as Princess and the Frog. Tiana was a restaurateur so she should have a restaurant at Disneyland.
I am I want to see what the queue will be like along with the ride I think the queue would be based on the costume party maybe and then once you are in the log it goes straight to Tiana’s and Navene’s POV idk I’m thinking about that than the music for the drop
lestrange It’d be cool to have Tiana’s restaurant at the parks, if it isn’t already. Like make it exactly like the one in the movie. So pretty.
THEY'RE DOING WHAT?????? THATS SO INCREDIBLE AHHHH i want them to make her restaurant in Disney too. I want a whole section of the park for PATF. God I love that movie
_w a h t_
i love when lottie dances with naveen’s younger brother (i think that’s his younger brother, at least). she seems so happy to entertain him, and he’s smiling ear to ear. so cute.
The funny thing is, she’s human for only like 25% of the film anyways,
So all that fashion in such little human form really says something
Blue is HER COLOR imma say it till I die. I get it green is meant to represent the whole frog thing but when she walked out in that blue dress she looked AMAZING
That was the most memorable dress from her tbh
Yeees, she looked amazing in blue 😍
Honestly, I think blue is her color too. The blue dress was so beautiful, and I actually have to say her Cal's uniform was really pretty too. (I like it more than even the iconic yellow one)
Green and blue is her color
Imagine blue and pastel green, it can work.
Can we talk about how historically accurate the outfits are? This is the most historically accurate Disney movie
For a minute I thought the title said: “selfish” instead of “stylish” and I was about to throw some hands-
I would’ve done the same
Honestly, I prolly would too
I'm just glad that is " stylish " and not " selfish "
i read most as worst and clicked it out of curiosity
I read it the same way you did and I had the same reaction.
I wanna add maybe their decision making tiana’s hair long is to show her dedication to work? If i was working two jobs and had almost no me time i would definitely never think about cutting my hair. Also the bobbed style was hard to style and if she had to work all the time it would get messed up alot. As a working woman she would much prefer a simple bun or ponytail to the much more time consuming gelled style in the 20s.
Idk maybe this is all dumb and doesnt make sense but thats just what i though :)
Honestly...that doesn’t make much sense given Tiana being black. Our hair doesn’t grow that fast, so if anything, her having long hair shows how she’s able to not only work herself near death with all those jobs, but also find time to take care of herself. ESPECIALLY since it was the 20s and the only things black women really had to work with at the time were a hot comb and butter.
@@taz--ell869 Our hair could still be long...us being black doesn't effect how long it take to grow our hair..many white people don't grow their hair fast it just depends on the person...my hair grows really fast (I am black) and it was to my back before(I cut it and got locs) and it didn't take long for my hair to grow long...
@@aida.mariee Also I think what Adriel is saying isn't that it's improbable that Tiana has long hair, but instead that Tiana must've worked rather hard to get her hair to be so long, on top of the fact that she has to continuously work so hard.
it does make a lot of sense :)
@@taz--ell869 tiana didn't have curly hair, she had more like wavy hair, so what you're saying, doesn't add up. It makes sense for her just to make a simple bun and go to work instead of STYLING a bob haircut everyday
Ok but the prince was one one the most handsome princes. (He was 1st on my list)
She is one of the most stylish Disney Princesses along with Cinderella and Elsa.
Abd the snow king add Ariel’s blue dress too!❣️
I'm personally not a fan of Elsa's dresses since they don't really fit in with the style everyone else wears. Her dresses (I mean like the one after let it go for example) look like more modern prom dresses. Her original dress is pretty tho. I also wasn't a fan of her braid but that's just because she looked banging with open hair and I would have loved to see her with open hair more often. Lol I'm sorry for rambling. :( This is just my opinion so if you disagree that's fine.
@@certifiedtrash2298 i feel the same!! Her blue dress is just doesnt blend with other character designs
@@certifiedtrash2298
She is a unique Snow Queen and a Disney Princess.
Yes her let it go dress is more modern but it is beautiful on her .
She is still fashionable.
Her Queen dress wasn't cool , she looked like an old queen not a princess later queen.
I prefer her let it go dress in addition of her fifth spirit dress , her purple dress and her adventure dress .
@@justme7410
Ariel is one of the greatest Disney Princesses but she isn't that fashionable .
Am i the only one who wants to taste Tiana's gumbo? Lmao
Mood. Also, I love your icon. Timmmy
Yaaas!!
Tiana's dad is the one who made the recipe

bro i wanna try her sweet honey bread with the powdered sugar, i cant spell what theyre called dkemdmsm

Even tho Charlotte’s ballgown isn’t historically accurate it’s still ICONIC
God that wedding dress is gorgeous. The animated equivalent of Cinderella 2015's.
“Tiana is the only princess with a job”

Tiana has always been my favorite princess, since It was released! This movie will forever hold a special place in my heart! 🥺💞
Tiana just looks stunning regardless of what she is wearing, she could be a model. Girl could wear a plastic bag and still make it work and that's on facts.
SOME REPRESENTATION FOR MY QUEEN TIANA SHE IS LITERALLY SO UNDERRATED
And I loved the relationship between her and her friend, tiana never judged her and was well educated on the fact that that was the way the girl grew up, and how they stayed friends til the end ☺️🥺 And Tiana was never jealous, just an amazing friend!
The songs in this movie>>>>> really underrated, THE WHOLE MOVIE is underrated.
Yep the songs was my favorite
I remember going to a Disney on Ice show when I was younger and they brought out all the princesses as they announced the main character trait they represented. They said Tiana represented "efficiency" while Cinderella represented "hard work"
...
Let that sink in
I-
*w h a t t h e f u-*
Bruh
Cinderella represents getting lucky af what were they on lmao? Cinderella worked, but not because she had an ultimate goal or dream which required the labor she was doing. Tiana was forced to work BECAUSE of what she wanted, on top of being able to survive, and that was almost taken away from her multiple times. If they're gonna go the realistic "work hard" route it would most certainly be about the young African American woman in the 1920s trying to raise money to run her own restaurant, and NOT the born-rich white damsel who got the help of a literal fairy to make her dream of living in a damn castle come true. Both women endured hardships, but Tiana's journey was by far the most relatable and down-to-earth (as down-to-earth as being transformed into a frog is, but I digress). Cinderella reads more like a light fairytale, which it is. Just shows how scarce any kind of analysis goes into Tiana and her story. And though this is only one example of it, you rarely find any sort of appreciation for this movie AT ALL, because it was left in Disney's back-burner for not being an instant hit and served as the final straw to move completely to 3D. Forgotten and overlooked.
@@pokaay3163 Cinderella was literally ABUSED by her step-family, and made a servant in her own house. Also, she did not dream of marrying a prince, the whole purpose of the ball was to have a day off, she just wanted a break from her step-family treating her like trash. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love Tiana, but calling Cinderella a damsel in distress is a disgrace to people who were abused, and had no way of getting out of that situation.
You need to note the context in which the Cinderella story took place. By the estimated time period, there weren't any social services, women wouldn't have survived on their own, and you were shunned if you attempted to run away from home. She literally DID NOT have a choice. And yet, she still embodied the traits of kindness, perseverance, and imagination. She ran into the world of her own mind because she did not have any other escape.
And despite all of that, she still managed to become a genuine and kind person. The cycle of abuse is a difficult one to break, and she did it. Both their stories are relatable, for different reasons. A woman of color working multiple shifts to support herself and achieve her goals would likely relate more to Tiana, whereas a girl who was bullied and abused would relate to Cinderella, and find hope in her story.
One is not greater than the other, there are very real and relatable moments in both films (Cinderella having her dead mother's dress ripped from her very body by the step-sisters, Tiana's scene on the balcony feeling hopeless about her dreams coming true). You do not have to dismiss one to appreciate the other.
@Always Unlucky I feel like it could go like this:
Cinderella had perseverance
And Tiana would have hard work
See? It's simple, this would have solved so much problems!
Honestly this movie will always be my favorite Disney movie!! I grew up watching this and tiana taught me how to be an independent hard worker. She's such an inspiring princess and I could only wish to be half as driven as her 😔
Princess and the frog and Mulan are my favorite Disney princess movies
Mine too also brave
Mulan isnt a princess
@@nope2571 still counts as a Disney princess movie since she’s included in the lineup
@@coratheneutralmilkhotelfan2131 nope
@@nope2571 yep, she technically is not a princess but look at a set of Disney princess dolls and she’ll be in the set. She is included in the line up of Disney princesses (which I think she earned tbh) therefore her movie is a Disney princess movie.
The food in that movie always making me feel some type of way nglll 🤤
New Orleans food is the best, you gotta visit sometime
7:50 i think Tiana having a low pony tail instead of the bob might also have to do with the fact that nowadays a bob is seen as more "stylish" and "cool" and a low pony says "working gal" better than the bob
tiana deserves a sequel or a tv series a la tangled the series where she ISNT a frog the entire time!!! and it would be a great opportunity to showcase more 20s fashion
Agreed.
Absolutely! After seeing how great the Tangled TV show was I want a tv show for Tiana too.
Tiana has the most beautiful voice.Not even just singing but just her speaking voice is so pretty.
Fun Fact: Tiana was originally suppose to be voiced by Beyoncé, however she refused to audition for some reason??????
I just LOVE Tiana. She’s one of the cutest princesses, and she has such an amazing voice.
Fun Fact: Tiana was originally suppose to be voiced by Beyoncé, however she refused to audition for some reason??????
Tiana's wedding dress is stunning and it makes me sad that I don't see this style of dress more often.
Thank you so much for including so many real-life photos of African-American women of the era!!! My beloved great-grandmother was born in 1910 & we have zero childhood or young photos of her, so it brought me so much joy to see what ladies like her wore at the time. I do know that she was known for her thick long hair until she was in her 90's.
❤❤
I don’t care how historically accurate the dresses are because they are STUNNING 🤩🤩🤩
yess! I love her dress. It was a little upsetting seeing that she was a frog for majority of the film though. The 20’s fashion in this movie was everything. Off topic but when I think of 20s, I immediately think of the 1927 film metropolis. Love your content btw❤️
Nah i think it was the right chioce just cause with everything she went through why not give her a cinderella gown
I always get emotional talking about this movie not only is it really beautiful and realistic. It's accurate to new Orleans lifestyle the voodoo, the music, the love, you can tell they did research. I also love how the subliminally put in segregation during the time, when they sat at the back of the bus and that your 'background' comment. But they also showed her and lottie genuine friendship. All in all it's a wonderful for the first black Disney princess.😍
On top of how amazing the message of The Princess and the Frog is, as well as how fantastic the fashion and love story are, we need to appreciate Anika Noni Rose. Girl has some killer pipes! She brings such power and emotion to the already strong songs. As an alto, it makes me very happy that my favorite Disney Princess is also an alto (at least predominantly). “Almost There” is my anthem!
About your point regarding the bob haircut, I understand your point on working class women getting bob cuts because it was simple and convenient, but I personally feel like it just works to betray an aspect of her character we saw already. We see in the movie that Tiana barely makes time for anything, and a deleted scene reveals that she only had time to let her mother tailor a dress for her after she quit all her jobs. My theory is, she was simply way too busy to make time for a haircut (look at the way the movie reintroduces us to Tiana after the timeskip). Otherwise, I thoroughly enjoyed this video and this lesson on 20s fashion history!!! Tiana's definitely one of my personal favorite Disney princesses and I'm glad to see the RonJohn team didn't just take extreme "creative liberties" with the outfits in the movie.
TIANA IS THE BEST DISNEY PRINCESS NO ONE CAN TELL ME OTHERWISE 😌
agree
AGREED, and also, this movie just had a whole different and amazing vibe, while the other disney movies (I know they all are mostly about different things etc) but I still think that the other disney movies seem too fake and unrealistic, while this oneeee is amazing and realistic
Aaaa
1:19 in all my years... how could I have not noticed Tiana has dimples!??
Tiana’s dimples give me life, I love every moment she’s on screen. This is one of my favourite disney movies but dang I wish it had more of their human scenes, they’re just such great designs. Great video, I loved focusing more on the fashion and you made some great analysis!
this movie is a MASTERPIECE that’s all goodnight
You speak the gospel truth and can tell no lie. Take my like with respect.
Tiana literally doesn’t have a single ugly outfit I’m obsessed with her clothes
I love Tiana's character as a princess but my Favorite character in the movie is Lottie. She is an amazing friend to Tiana and even supported her business.
yes!
My favorite is the alligator I loved him he was such a funny , loving , caring , character
@@squite133 oh Louis, he is a great character too.
I saw that title and immediately thought "ah yes, FACTS"
yes, but also Tiana was the only princess who was privileged to be given real timeline and country to draw historically accurate dresses for. Disney should have done that half an age ago, so many missed opportunities. Instead, they made almost all the outfits look like 1950s DIY dresses or mixed and matched centuries and countries. Even Jasmin and Aurora weren't as lucky as Tiana.
@@julijakeit I'm not focusing on the historical accuracy, the dresses are just really pretty and all look amazing on tiana
the princess and the frog is horribly underrated and deserves so much more love than it recieves
It's underrated because of the time it was released iirc it was the time where toy story 3 and another movie I forgot the name was also released
There is a theory that since lottie you see during all the film wears exclusively pink expect her Mardi grass gown. So that means that she had that dress reserved for tiana in her measurements.
That's sweet
The song "almost there" from this movie is one of my favourite disney songs ever!!
I always thought tiana having a bob hair only in the dream meant that she did wanted to be at some level in fashion, but was postponing it for after her dream became true, like everything else in her life
